I can’t tell you how many hours, days, even years I’ve spent tearing myself down — and not because I don’t want to tell you, though it would probably be embarrassing to say the answer out loud. It’s just an impossible number to recall, and if I’m being completely honest, it’s still growing. Recently, I

Over the past couple months, we’ve found ourselves in a strange and disconcerting new reality due to the coronavirus outbreak. Many shelves in grocery stores are empty, and toilet paper has become the hottest commodity in town (Purell is a close second). As COVID-19 rapidly spreads across the globe, we’ve been directed to socially distance

There are some great women’s soccer movies out there (Bend It Like Beckham! She’s the Man!), but fans can agree that the team that kickstarted the women’s soccer revolution hasn’t gotten the big screen recognition it deserves. Now it looks like that wait is over, with Netflix announcing plans to develop a feature film on

I have a confession: I’m absolutely obsessed with watching roller-skating videos on TikTok. I’m entranced by users like Ana Coto who glide across pavement and turn the activity into an athletic dance, and with plenty of time on my hands, it might end up being my next hobby — if I can find the perfect

After hearing so much about Beachbody’s 80 Day Obsession and seeing the amazing transformations, I felt compelled to try the workouts. With my experience doing CrossFit three to four times a week for the past four years, I needed to see how these workouts compared. Would they be as intense and effective at building strength?

Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, and when you take just one look at his game, you can see why. The new ESPN documentary The Last Dance follows the five-time NBA Most Valuable Player as he plays his final season with the Chicago Bulls, and the series features stunning footage

Buying activewear can get expensive. Considering that we need enough leggings to get through our weekly workouts as well as our Netflix-sessions (they’re really comfortable!), shopping for workout gear can really run up your credit card bill. That’s why we were thrilled to discover Old Navy’s huge selection of stylish and affordable workout clothes that

When I’m shopping at my local Trader Joe’s (my happy place), I always let out a little squeal of joy when I see a the selection of vegan products. I’m obsessed with Trader Joe’s for all my dairy-free needs, whether it’s for vegan pesto or creamy vegan queso — and now, the grocery chain offers

Every time you FaceTime your friends, watch your favorite shows on Netflix, or turn on your computer to do work, you’re exposed to blue light. Blue light is a visible light wave (yes, it’s actually blue!), and has more energy per photon of light than other colors in the visible spectrum. This is important to

If the only equipment you have is a set of dumbbells and your own body, here’s a list of the ultimate dumbbell and bodyweight moves you can do anywhere. These exercises all target the upper body so you can strengthen your shoulders, biceps, triceps, forearms, and upper back muscles. Use them for inspiration to create

When I started CrossFit almost four years ago, I thought it was strange that we didn’t specifically work our abs. But so many of the exercises we do are full-body moves that target our core more than crunches could. Although plank variations aren’t a standard CrossFit exercise, we definitely do them often when warming up

We’ve heard it before: “Heavy weights are a no-no for women — you’ll become bulky.” And then there’s this fitness gem: “One hundred crunches every day won’t give you a six pack.” The misconceptions swirling around exercising are numerous enough to make your head spin. Research was done by PureGym in London, where gym-goers were

For anyone watching The Last Dance, the ESPN series documenting the biggest years of Michael Jordan’s life and career with the Chicago Bulls, it should come as no surprise that the basketball legend’s salary was astronomical. While society has grown accustomed to superstar athletes getting paid millions of dollars per year, Jordan made a lot

Now, New Balance is doing the same. The sports footwear and apparel company is teaming up with its sponsored athletes to donate $1 million

Real talk: There’s no quick way to become more flexible. That’s not to say you should cross it off your list of fitness goals, though, it just means you’ll have to work harder to get there. A great place to start is with yoga. And one move that definitely needs to be added to your practice is

Like countless other art organizations, ballet companies depend on ticket sales to stay in operation, but selling tickets is impossible when performance venues are closed. The coronavirus outbreak has shut down theaters, museums, galleries, studios, and opera houses, and as a result, culture is suffering just as much as the economy. Of course, artists and

As a trainer and a Pilates instructor, I am always encouraging my clients to get more active. Taken to the extreme, though, too much exercise will have negative consequences on the mind and body. We asked some experts in fitness, nutrition, and psychology to help identify symptoms of overexercising — keep reading to find out

Beyond a few tweets and a spokesperson statement, stars of the USWNT didn’t immediately share their reactions to the most recent, most disappointing development in their equal pay lawsuit. In a May 1 ruling, a federal judge threw out the central claim that the WNT was paid less than the MNT based on gender discrimination.

As a personal trainer and athlete who manages her training — and training others — along with her fasting, we wanted to tap into Zaakirah‘s exercise tips for Ramadan. A lot of it is about timing and type of exercise. Zaakirah is also a global Nike ambassador and has her own workout on the worldwide

Really, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t feel like your favorite fairy-tale hero or heroine when you work out. Why not channel a little magic when we’re running, jumping, lifting, sweating, and pushing ourselves through tough routines? Crowned Athletics is a workout and athleisure brand that takes that attitude to heart. The brand imagined “what
